--automprun does not work

--automprun does not work

[Eckhart Guthöhrlein]

Forgot this one. With \write18 enabled, everything works fine now, but not 
without... \runMPgraphicsfalse (or at least not ..true) in cont-sys.tex is 
necessary, otherwise texexec assumes on-the-fly generation and does not 
call mp afterwards.
The problem is: With
texexec --automprun --pdf test
mp is called after the tex runs, but no picture is produced (and possibly 
that's why no final tex run follows). This is the entire log file mpgraph.log:

This is MetaPost, Version 0.641 (MiKTeX 2.1) (preloaded mem=metafun 
2001.7.12)  12 JUL 2001 16:42
**mpgraph
(mpgraph.mp )

However, compiling mpgraph.mp from the command line via
mp mpgraph
works fine!

I can't explain why mp is terminated prematurely when called by texexec. 
Even more strange, Hans might remember having told me about the --autmprun 
switch. Everything worked properly on my machine, perhaps one of the latest 
updates causes problems (but I can't tell which one, if so, for I didn't 
use mp since then)?

That's all... Greetings,

Eckhart

I have to make some additions to this. In principle, everything works well, 
so no problem with texexec due to updates. But there are problems with more 
complex MP code, possibly with metaobj. My test file:

\startreusableMPgraphic{nometaobj}
    draw unitsquare scaled 1cm;
\stopreusableMPgraphic

\startreusableMPgraphic{justinput}
    input metaobj;
    draw unitsquare scaled 1cm;
\stopreusableMPgraphic

\startreusableMPgraphic{metaobj}
    input metaobj;
    newBox.testbox(btex Where is it? etex);
    testbox.c=origin;
    drawObj(testbox);
\stopreusableMPgraphic

\starttext
    \reuseMPgraphic{...}
\stoptext

witth {...}={nometaobj} as well as {...}={justinput}, everything works 
fine. But with {...}={metaobj}, I get the nearly empty log above. Compiling 
via mp mpgraph works. So, this might be some interference with metaobj, or 
perhaps a general problem with complex MP code (but I can't imagine this 
looking at the available examples...)
And as I wrote before, with runtime mp via \write18, all three test 
graphics work.

the problem, is probably with metaobj being loaded twice [within a fig]; 
you may try:

\startMPinclusions
   input metaobj ;
\stopMPinclusions

\appendtoks input metaobj ; \to \MPinitializations

No, it is not. The problem occurs also with the part above alone, with just 
one figure.

I tried both, the same result: an empty mpgraph.log, no graphics produced, 
but mpgraph.mp compilable from the command line with no problems. Here is 
the full (rather long) output of the whole texexec run, perhaps you can see 
something that helps.

That was the problem, "Schuppen von den Augen", thank you very much. My 
version of cont-sys.tex somehow disappeared during the last update, I 
simply didn't think of that.

Re: --automprun does not work

Hi,

i have not followed the discussion but do you have a 
file named "cont-sys.tex" and in there 

 \protectbufferstrue

??

If not, try \protectbufferstrue at the beg. of your doc. Maybe 
this helps.
